Suzy Myers and Marge Mansfield own and operate the Seattle Home Midwifery Service and Childbirth Center, as well as being founders of Seattle Midwifery School many years ago. I chose them to be my midwives for my second baby and initially for my third (until I moved to Tacoma). I recommend them to anyone for a well-supported pregnancy, highly knowledgeable birth attendant (they've been midwives for something like 30 years!), and professionals who are well-respected in doctor and birth circles all over the world. You can't buy that kind of experience anywhere.

I had two babies with these very experienced and excellent midwives. The first time with Marge Mansfield at the Community Birth Center at Montlake, and the second baby with Suzy Myers and at home. I chose how I gave birth, where I gave birth, what I ate. It was a safe, gentle, positive and wonderful experience two times. I was the one to announce the gender of both babies, a special moment for me.

Suzy Myers and Marge Mansfield have been guiding the births of thousands of children in the Seattle area over the last 30 years. If you are considering a non-hospital birth scenario, you should definately meet them. They are awesome, well connected and sensitive to your decisions. While Columbia City might be a little out of the way, they also work out of the Community Birthing Center in Montlake. With Swedish and other powerful business interests attempting to put the kybosh on midwifery (hey - they can make loads off of planned c-sections), a home or birth center birth is still an option.
